By the Pier

 I'm always looking for views to sketch. I love how the gulls pose on top of the pilings by the dock. This one cooperated and stayed in one spot for a long time. This was done by Mascot Dock in Patchogue.

  1. Joan you always manage to capture the best scenes. The life preserver really makes this painting come alive. We are too cold to sketch outdoors. Have been gathering things on my quick walks to bring indoors for my perpetual nature sketchbook . Thank you dear friend for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment. Gosh Joan I think we have been blogging together for almost fourteen years. How quickly time flies when one is having fun. Hugs!

    1. Debbie, I can't believe we have been blogging together for that long! Thank you for your positive, encouraging comments. It is very cold here too. Today I sat in my "mobile studio" to do a quick sketch of a truck, but I kept the car running. I don't like to do that, but it was just too cold and I figured I would only sketch for a few minutes. I hope you are keeping warm and comfortable! Hugs to you too!
